sorry my main gripe against a $100K RUF Boxster is how paltry the performance increase relative to the money layed out above what you already payed to get into the Boxster to begin with. If Porsche said we offer Caymans and Boxster with GT3 and TT power for $100K I would't complain one bit. But that kind of dough for a RUF Boxster shouldn't just mean "sleeper" it should mean a whole other level of performance. 100 HP doens't buy you that (less than 100 if you opt for 3.4!) $40K should give you the privilge of having a Boxster that can take on all comers in the $100K landscape. Good luck with that 100 HP.
Its the same reason I didn't get on the wait list for the $50K Lotus Elise to have privilige of driving a Toyota MR2 engine.
For FORTY THOUSAND dollars extra you better do the following:
Put
well north of 450 HP/torque, full coilover suspension, the lightest wheels that can be fathomed with the biggest brakes you can get mated with the equivalent HP demmands, custom sways, some carbon fiber parts on both the interior and exterior to reduce weight, enhanced cooling, the works and a built-in top notch lazer/radar detector
and make some serious styling enhancements, not just a trunk badge and big wheels. Personally, I don't care what the next guy thinks I like car design and if I'm paying you nearly two for one, you better give me some nice fixed racing seats, a nice alcantara or a one of kind steering wheel, some interior materials that are unique only to the RUF cars, an enhanced cluster, design magazine worth door pulls, shifter, e-brake, some tasteful but dramatically different exterior enhancements the kind that set a GT3 RS apart from a 911.
What would RUF charge for all that? the price of an ENZO? LOL
